Autism and Friends at the Movies is an inaugural event where the cinema environment is tailored to suit children with sensory needs. The movie stays the same but the environmental conditions are modified - the lights are left on low, the sound is turned down and its okay for children to get out of their seat and move around if they need to. Tickets are available for pre purchase in person at Event Cinemas Castle Hill. Unfortunately no tickets can be bought online.
For a detailed list of Frequently Asked Questions and A Social Story on Watching a Movie at a Cinema please visit our Autism and Friends at the Movies Webpage here.
